"Monuments, Mills and Missile Sites: 30 Years of the HAER," a Historic American Engineering Record (HAER) traveling exhibit, is on display at the University of Houston from July 13 to Oct. 10, 2001, in the Gerald D. Hines College of Architecture.
The exhibit is visiting cities around the United States through arrangements with the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.
The HAER traveling exhibit documents engineering marvels and industrial icons. Many of the sites are key examples of the technological advances that emerged from industrialization and mechanization of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The HAER archive currently includes 7,500 sites, 68,000 photographs, almost 56,000 data pages, and about 3,500 measured drawings.
The HAER Exhibit is sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers-Houston Branch; American Institute of Architects-Houston Chapter; Engineering, Science, and Technology Council of Houston; UH Gerald D. Hines Colleges of Architecture; UH Cullen College of Engineering; and Fugro South Inc.
